A lot of people cringe at the mere mention of Don Rickles. I'm not one of them. He's still funny. I spent a night a few months back watching him on The Tonight Show with Carson and on the Letterman show via YouTube. He's a riot. As for Billy Crystal, I've loved him forever. He and Robin Williams together were a force to be reckoned with. One time both Williams and Crystal were guests in the Mets broadcast booth with Ralph Kiner and Tim McCarver (I think they were promoting Comic Relief) and they had everyone in stitches. They even did play by play for half an inning and McCarver was laughing so hard he couldn't speak. I've never tried to find that on YouTube. Have you seen Crystal's one-man show, "700 Sundays"? If you haven't seen it, Willie, it is an incredible performance.

If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for
you.
A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking.

bread.
The severity of the itch is proportional to the reach.
